Is this Safe???? 1st grow

Yeah, some plants absorb co2 they use during their dark cycle, but marijuana is not one of them. It is classified as a c3 plant meaning it uses the co2 it gathers during the light cycle and does not need a rest (dark) period. So sayeth Ed Rosenthal

That's very interesting. I thought the separate cycles were essential to all higher plants. But it makes sense; if you can veg 24 hours...
Thanks!

Well, you're thinking of the kreb cycle and then the calvin cycle (aka light and dark reactions). They are actually light dependent and light independent reactions, not necessarily requiring dark, just nor requiring light. But yeah, some things require darkness (flowering, obviously), and some plants require darkness to uptake co2, but the actual food production of the plant goes on indefinitely under light I believe. I could have given you a step by step of what products were made and how like a year ago, but I've smoked a lot of weed since college biology lol. Here's a pic

The two cycles of photosynthesis each use air-borne gases. One uses O2 and the other uses CO2.
The net is that the plant uses more CO2 than O2 and has a net INTAKE of CO2 and net OUPUT of O2. But you can still suffocate the plant or at least retard its growth by depriving it of either of those.

Oh yeah, I forgot. The o2 used during those cycles isn't from the air. It comes from the splitting of water into H+ and o2 during the first cycle

hmmmmm after all that reading and info i jus took in i say jus let that biatch grow till it decides to flower on its own lol im sure it will give you more that way anyways and you can use that big black bag to fill up with buds

Yea, thats alot of information i wasnt bargaining on, but the more information the better...


check my forum in activism

if we cnat do this were all sterotyped for proper terms as ''stoners''

Check it out

thanks for the CO2 info

Take it EZ
